Aux Time Explained: What It Is, How to Calculate It, and How to Reduce It

Aux time is one of those metrics that every contact center tracks but relatively few manage with precision. The number sits in dashboards, gets flagged during reviews, and shows up in WFM reports.

This guide covers the definition, the formula, the benchmarks, the causes, and the practical steps you can take to get it under control.

Automated time tracking fixes the root cause by removing the manual work entirely. This guide breaks down how it works, what methods are available, and how to choose an approach that actually sticks with your team.

What is a timesheet? Meaning, uses, and how it works

When your team works, those hours need to be tracked so employees get paid correctly, clients get billed accurately, and you know how much a project actually costs. A timesheet is just the tool that makes sure those hours don’t get lost. Many businesses don’t take it very seriously.
